Hi All, im new to the forum. My trusty VFR750FM (1991) needs the clutch plates changing as getting a bit of slip when changing down gear and really giving it a handful. Have got new clutch plates and also full gasket set.
Is this a hard job? Im quite mechanical savvy. I have changed/rebuilt the forks and various other parts so not scared of the job but would just like an idea of what im facing.
Any advice apprieciated.
thanks
Not a hard job at all. Make sure to soak your new fiber plates in fresh oil overnight, before putting them in.
Other than that, it's just remove & replace.
Welcome to VFRD from across the North Sea :tour:
The files section (top of your screen) has the downloadable service manual for the 3rd/4th Gens
Post up in the welcome sections as well, with picture! Because a) we like pictures b) w/o one you do not exist! :laugh:
I recommend changing the springs also. When my 1996 seemed to have a clutch slipping issue the clutch plates were all fine but the springs were too short from being commpresed for so many years. Not a hard job at all. The worst part for me was getting all the old gasket material off the case.
Excellent thanks for the replies. Had a look in the manual you mentioned and it's looks pretty straight forward. Will let you know how I get on.
Thanks
Clutch plates are a straight forward job to do! Have done it in under an hour before - rushing.
If your after a dynojet (UK) for your bike i have one here for a 3rd gen(91).....bought it, looked at it and then never got round to fitting it.
While you are in there, pull your starter clutch assembly off and check it for cracks, if you find any replace it before it worsens to the point where you can't start the bike.
